I really wish they would have removed classes from the game completely when they had the chance during the 1.0-2.0 transition. It just makes the game needlessly complicated and difficult to play and adjust to the real job and skill set you're expected to actually play with. It's just awful game design and waste of resources to create and balance something no one wants to play nor does play.
I'm really glad to see the new jobs will not involve this nonsense.
